Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Started it with a readalong with the author's discord channel, and immediately surpassed the 2-chapter-a-day pace. Couldn't stop listening. Love the headstrong FMC who curses just as much as I do (not every other word, but enough for emphasis). My only complaint would be that we spend a lot of time in her head. I find myself often jumping to dialogue to find out what's going to happen next vs reading through her coming to realizations. Get there, girl!! Otherwise, the story is different enough to be interesting, but rooted in that familiar fantasy goodness.
